Ford Recalls Older Model Windstar Vans

Our Michigan car accident lawyers are reporting that Ford is recalling 575,000 Windstar vans, model years 1998 to 2003,  in the United States and Canada.  The safety concern is that the rear axles can corrode and break.  States where there is a heavy use of road salt can cause this corrosion, Michigan being one of them.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), two crashes were caused due to this problem, along with 234 complaints of rear axle problems.  Ford told NHTSA on Thursday that owners of this vehicle will be notified beginning September 27th.
